According to the press release, during this festive period, the words of the Nobel laureate Czesław Miłosz (translated by Tomas Venclova) dedicated to the memory of Konstantin Sirvydas will shine on the residents of Vilnius and the guests of the city.
“Universiteto Street leads to K. Sirvydas – 17th century. Jesuit, professor at Vilnius University, author of the first dictionary of Lithuanian-Polish-Latin languages.
When creating the idea for the installation, it became obvious to me that the first installation on this street, which expands the Art (eria) exhibition – Vilnius Old Town Temporary Installations Gallery, must be associated with the name and works of a scientist specializing in sushi so important to Vilnius University and our culture. The lines of the poem by Cz.Miłosz dedicated to K. Sirvydas sensitively reveal the atmosphere of Vilnius at that time and the meaning of the Lithuanian word “- the idea of the installation was presented by its creator, the designer Julia Janus.

Rector of Vilnius University prof. According to Rimvydas Petrauskas, the history of the university is inseparable from multiculturalism and, therefore, from multilingualism. In addition to academic Latin and elite Polish, the basics of Lithuanian writing were formed here. Here, the Lithuanian language began to become not only a domestic language, but also a scientific language. The Lithuanian words were back in the dictionary.
With these brilliant words, Vilnius University congratulates you on an unusual vacation period, but more longed for and more meaningful than ever. The personality of K.Sirvydas and the poetic language of Cz.Miłosz were not chosen by chance. We wish that everyone remember the importance of a well thought out word, accurately worded and sensitive language at this time, staying in touch with close people and nurturing the foundation of the state: community spirit ”, the city and the state as a whole wanted. Petrauskas.
